Request public information under RTI Act

Steps

1. Identify the responsible public authority and its designated Information Officer via the official registry

   rti.gov.lk (opens in a new tab)

2. Prepare clear information request on RTI-01 or accepted written format in official language

3. Submit to the authority through officially permitted channel, retaining acknowledgment; RTI-02 is the acknowledgment form in the official library

4. If refused or no response, check statutory appeal grounds and timeframe; the designated officer appeal uses RTI-10

5. If appropriate, use the separately listed RTI Commission appeal form, distinct from the designated-officer appeal
